Chargers CB Jason Verrett awaiting full medical clearance

Chargers cornerback Jason Verrett is still awaiting full medical clearance to give him the green light to practice in full, according to ESPN’s Eric D. Williams.

Verrett is coming back from a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) that limited him to only the first game of the season against the Broncos in 2017. The Pro Bowler has played in 25 of a possible 68 games since being selected No. 25 overall in the 2014 NFL Draft.

Given the fact that it’s been only seven months from the time he had the surgical procedure, it’s no surprise that he remains limited and the team is being cautious of his recovery. It’s good to note that since he’s been able to practice in some fashion means the rehab has gone well and he should be ready to go for training camp in July.

Los Angeles has a trio of capable cornerbacks in Casey Hayward, Trevor Williams and Desmond King, but the rich are poised to become richer when it comes to the position when Verrett joins an already productive group and if he manages to stay healthy in 2018.
